Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Well, actually I relocated the bugger.
Previously I had my gauge connected to the bleader screw off the top of the fuel filter housing with TST "temp" connection. But this always caused problems when changing the fuel filter and not being abel to bleed the filter properly.
Now I bought a new banjo bolt (the one off the fuel pump) and drilled and taped it (1/8" NPT), attached a 18" grease hose and needle valve. Removed the old pump banjo bolt and replaced the whole thing ... WOW that was easy. Now I can use the bleeder screw on the filter housing the way it was ment to be used.
I can tell you that this fuel pressure gauge really lets me know when the filter is getting clogged (other that a slight performance drop). Pulled my old filter out this past weekend and man was it black and full of stuff, and only after 5,000 miles!!!
I would definitly recommend folks with the P7100 to install one to keep an eye
on things (plus an extra gauge is cool in the cab). The setup looks something like this except the grease gun hose is connected to copper tubing into the cab (and everything is super tight with no leaks).
